WHISPERING PINES

THE GENTLE BREEZE SEEPS THROUGH THE PINES
NURSING SOFT FRAGRANCE FAR AND NEAR
COOING DOVES NESTLE IN WELCOMED PEACE
A RED SQUIRREL CHATTERS - AS IF IT MATTERS
A SLEEPY OWL BLINKS
A RED FOX SILENTLY SLINKS
A SPARKLING SPRING ITS WATERS CLEAR
QUENCHES THE THIRST OF A PASSING DEER
A WILD TURKEY WADDLES THROUGH A HOLLOW
MR. RED FOX SLOWLY FOLLOWS
BOTH ARE LOOKING FOR A MEAL
ONE FOR BERRIES, THE OTHER A LIFE TO STEAL
THIS IS LIFE ONE MIGHT SAY
WHISPERING BEAUTY AMIDST WELCOMED PEACE
ALWAYS A PREDATOR, AN UNSUSPECTING VICTIM,
IT WILL SOON TRY TO DEVOUR.

THERE IS A VOICE, THAT GENTLY WHISPERS TO OUR MIND
LIKE A GENTLE BREEZE, SEEPING THROUGH THE PINES
IT COMES TO HELP, WITHOUT COST
TO MINISTER LOVE AND FIND THE LOST
SOME FAIL TO HEAR, BECAUSE OF BUSY CHATTER
THEY THINK IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER
OTHERS DOZE, SLEEPY EYELIDS TOO HEAVY TO HOLD
WHILE UP SLINKS THE PREDATOR, CRAFTY AND BOLD
GENTLE SPIRITUAL LIVING WATERS, JESUS BRINGS
ABUNDANCE, FOR ALL TO DRINK WITHOUT PREDJUDICE
DRINK, OF HIS WATER, LIVE IN HIS PEACE
ABIDE IN JESUS, WHERE PREDATORS CAN NOT REACH
HE WILL GUIDE YOU 'NEATH THE PINES
AND GREAT MOUNTAINS, YOU WILL CLIMB
SO OPEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS, WHILE STILL TIME
JESUS PLEASE SAVE ME, CAUSES AN  ETERNAL WATER SUPPLY.
